Crustaceans

The Crab

She always wanted to be a dancer
but her dreams could never be
she wanted to waltz around the floor
to a musical one two three
But she could only move sideways
so her dreams she had to quash
she was a crab and would only ever -
manage to dance the “Slosh”.

The Prawn

He said I was a right wee cracker
and took me for a jaunt
I ended up in a basket
in the Chinese restaurant

The Lobster

Oh he is considerate
the water is nice and cold
I thought he was going to kill me
when he put me in the hold
this pot is large I can move about
though its starting to get quite hot
my shell is starting to change colour
this isn’t what I thought
I’m getting kind of sleepy
I think I’ll close my eyes
there’s nothing much to see in here
I was hoping for a surprise.
